Welcome to Books for Classrooms

All children deserve to see themselves in books in their classrooms.

Why Supplementary Books?

Every classroom needs a collection of books. You never know what will capture a child’s imagination. What was the first book that influenced your life?

Why Diverse Books?

Southern Arizona classrooms are filled with students from diverse backgrounds. Every child deserves to see themselves in books in their classroom.

Why Us?

We collaborate with national organizations and very small presses to find diverse books at the lowest cost.
